For anyone who saw the summer movie debacle that was X-Men Origins: Wolverine, I can guarantee that the only silver lining in that stinky little cloud was Ryan Reynold's performance as Deadpool. Until, you know, they effed it up at the end. But at least for those five minutes, we got a character who wouldn't shut the hell up and who cut bullets with swords. It was fun!

I've heard all sorts of rumors about how Reynolds is a pretty big comic book fan, about how he really wanted the Deadpool role, and how he has all sorts of clauses in his contract for the character to stay true to the Deadpool persona. All of these claims are largely unsubstantiated internet rumors, but it just goes to show that the nerd portion of the internet really likes the guy. I mean, I'd drink a beer with him.

However, I wouldn't mention my favorite nerd hobby around him--videogames. In an interview leaked by, ugh, Perez Hilton in the latest Entertainment Weekly, (note the Summer Must List Double Issue!) Reynolds is asked about such illuminations as Jon and Kate Plus 8, being a sex symbol, and videogames, among other things. His comment:

I don’t really play video games. Is there a way to waste more f—ing time? The Internet’s enough. The last videogame I played was Ms. Pacman[sic].

Ouch. I'm trying my best to channel my inner Jim Sterling, but all I can come up with is the feeling of mild disillusionment. Oh, and the irritation that just because you get to act as the most interesting comic book character to come out in twenty years and sleep with Scarlett Johansson, you can still be a condescending douchebag whose original claim to fame is a film where dog semen on pastries is somehow funny. Oh, and the last game he played is a boring piece of crap.

Lindsay Lohan has filed a law suit against Rockstar, the creators of Grand Theft Auto V. The suit claims Lohan's likeness is used in the game, without her permission, based on the character of Tracey Jonas. It's a pretty far-fetched claim, and sure not to go far. But it is worth a good laugh.more

The rumors were true. She's really going for it. Actress Lindsay Lohan has filed a lawsuit against Take-Two and Rockstar Games over a character in Grand Theft Auto V that's said to be based on her likeness without permission,...more

It should go without saying that Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain had a great showing at E3. Not only was the official trailer a stellar piece of work, and a big indication of how grim the game will be, but the 30-minute ...more
